Basics of Search Friendly Design
6
Basic SEO Concepts
• Keywords: Use text that targets your audience; and
attracts search engines and links from other sites
• Navigation: Give users and crawlers easy access to
content
• Design Elements: Make sure bells and whistles don’t
undermine SEO efforts
• Page Rank: Develop a linking strategy to improve
your site’s “popularity”
7
Things Search Engines Like
• Text (Keyword)
– Words and phrases that match what your target
audience types into search engines
• Site Navigation
– Site navigation and URL structure that search
crawlers can easily follow
• Links to Your Site
– How “popular” are you?
8
Robots Exclusion
• Robots.txt File
– Place in server’s root directory
– Two elements: User-agent, Disallow
– Example:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /cgi-bin/
Disallow: /scripts/
Disallow: /images/
• Meta-Tag Robots Exclusion
<head><meta name=“robots” content=“no index,
nofollow”></head>

Managing Page Content
10
Keyword Prominence
 Search engines place “weight” on terms
according to where they are used
Primary Text
• Title tag
• Body text
• Anchor text
• Text near the top of the page
• Headings and Emphasized Text
Secondary Text
 Alt text
 Description tag
 Domain name and
URL elements
11
What About Metadata?
• Metadata is not a factor in most web search engines
• Except for Title and META description tags, crawlers
ignore other META tags
• Use metadata if important for your agency’s mission
or enterprise systems (e.g., CMS, site search engine)
12
Keywords in Text
• Choose one or two keywords or phases to optimize for
each page
• Use language of your audience
• Do not over use - avoid keyword stuffing
• Keywords in links influence relevancy of the pages
your linking to
– No “click here” links

architecture to improve crawling
